The Cows Come Home

I haven't had as much time as I would like for my small hobby. I find myself saying this way too often... I've entertained the idea of doing a scene a day but have been way too chicken to attempt it. Bock. Bock. Plus, at this rate, I doubt I could keep up with the challenge. Every once in awhile, I get an opportunity to see what everyone else is doing in the modern miniatures community. I do truly love the information network that has been created by fellow hobbyists. The Internet is cool! There are so many collectors and artisans who I admire--like Pepper who made the awesome credenza seen above. Beautiful lines, walnut wood and yes, the doors do open to reveal shelving inside. Simply coveted.

The above scene started with a snack--as most of my life's activities do. Okay, it wasn't really the snack but the chip clip. What can I say? Something about it MOOved me.

The Goods: The credenza is Pepper; the daybed sofa is an ebay find; the coffee table is Ikea; the Eames La Chaise is Reac Japan; the leaning bookshelf is Peter Tucker; the cow art is a chip clip by Kikkerland Design; all accessories are Plan Toys, Bozart Toys, Wright Guide Miniatures, Sir Thomas Thumb, X10NY, Lemax, MiniModernistas, Pepper, Tim Holtz and common finds from hobby and craft stores.

mOo la la. Love the pitchfork in the corner. You are in serious need of a modern farmhouse. If that credenza strays from your house, you know where to look. (Everyone is going to want that Pepper, nice work!) Love the room, I could just eat it up. Moolicious!!

Yes, that modern farmhouse. I think I'll have to commission someone to make it for me. Sadly, the country experiment is not over and there's more bales of hay to come. Regarding that credenza that Pepper made, I think you can all see why I cried...ha ha!

Hello from Spain: I just discovered your blog and I love your diorama. I like your furniture you use in your scenes. Congratulations for the pictures. I have a blog dedicated to Barbie I invite you to visit: all4barbie.blogspot.com If you're still in touch from blog to blog.

Like Sandra, I had never seen such snazzy chip clips before I read this blog post. Then yesterday while I was out and about strolling through a few home and decor shops I saw many, many chip clips with animal designs. How cool is that?!
